32BT Body-pack transmitter with lavalier microphone:
Introduction
Congratulations. You have chosen one of the most versatile powered
loudspeaker systems on the market today. The Azden® APS 25 is a sophisticated 4-channel mixable speaker system that allows you to utilize
two different wireless inputs in addition to a wired microphone and a linelevel input - all at the same time if needed. The master, front mounted,
volume knob controls the overall level of all four inputs simultaneously.
Housed in a high-impact polycarbonate cabinet, the APS 25 can be
wall mounted using the included bracket, stand-mounted or simply placed
wherever needed. The Auto On/Off circuitry makes using the APS 25
simple and convenient.
To get the most from your new APS 25 Speaker System be sure to
carefully read this user’s guide, paying particular attention to the receiver
module(s) installed and the transmitter(s) you’ve chosen.
Again, congratulations, and thanks for choosing Azden®.

Installing an APS module... (see photo - page 1)
All APS modules install into the APS 25 in the same manner. To
install, first remove the blank panel by loosening the two retaining thumb
screws. Next remove the “shorting board” by pulling it straight out. Now,
simply slide the module into the slot and lightly press until the connector
in the rear engages and the front panel is flush. Last, replace the two
thumb screws and tighten snugly. Any APS module can be inserted into
either slot. Save the “shorting board(s)” for possible later use.
NOTE: If you purchased your APS 25 with one or two modules, they
have already been installed.
The APS 25 Inputs/Outputs and Controls...
A. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - controls the overall volume of the
APS 25 as well as the LINE OUT (8) connector.
B. TONE - this is a variable frequency high-cut tone control that is primarily used to reduce high-frequency feedback. The control is
essentially flat when turned fully clockwise and reduces more high
frequencies as it is rotated counterclockwise.
C. LED - displays the power state of the speaker. See (4) for details.
1. CHAN A slot - any module can be installed here.
2. CHAN B slot - any module can be installed here.
3. MIC INPUT - plug a wired dynamic microphone in here. This 1/4 inch
jack is designed to accept a low impedance microphone. The input
volume is controlled by the MICROPHONE LEVEL knob (5).
4. OFF/AUTO/ON switch - this controls the power for the speaker after
the MASTER AC SWITCH (12) is placed in the ON position.
• The speaker is essentially OFF with this switch in the OFF position.
The front panel LED (C) will glow Red.
• The speaker will come ON from its standby mode automatically when
any signal is sensed when the switch is in the AUTO position. The
LED (C) will turn from Red to Green. 10 minutes after all audio stops
the speaker will return to its standby mode and the LED (C) will return to Red.
• The speaker is ON at all times when the switch is in the ON position.
The LED (C) will glow Green.
5. MIC LEVEL - this knob controls the input volume of the microphone
plugged into the MIC INPUT (3). It is always good practice to leave
the control turned all the way down (full counterclockwise) when no
microphone is being used.
6. LINE LEVEL - this knob controls the input volume of anything plugged
into the LINE IN (7) jack.
page 3
7.
LINE IN - this mono RCA jack is designed to accept audio from
devices such as CD players, video tape players or anything else with
a line-level audio output. The input volume is controlled by the LINE
LEVEL knob (6).
8. LINE OUT - this mono RCA jack provides line-level audio to drive
additional speakers or other audio devices with a line-level input.
The level is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (A) on
the front panel. If this output is used to drive the LINE IN (7) of a
second APS 25, the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (A) will control
the overall volume of both speakers.
9. AC JACK - this is where the removable AC plug is attached to the
speaker. The AC plug is polarized and will only attach one way.
10. AC FUSE - the replaceable AC fuse is housed here. Follow the marking on the panel for proper replacement if needed (0.5A for 210240VAC use or 1.0A for 110-125VAC use).
11. AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR - set down when used with 110-125VAC
(US and other areas) and up when used with 210-240VAC (Europe
and other areas). Be sure to check your local voltage before adjusting the selector. The speaker is shipped from the factory set in the
110-125VAC position and with a cable designed for that voltage.
Mounting the APS 25
• Wall Mounting (see photo - page 9)
The APS 25 is supplied with a wall mounting bracket. It can be attached to the speaker via the built-in 1/4" X 20 threaded holes on the top
and bottom of the speaker using the included large screws. Supplied
rubber pads can be applied to the inside surface of the bracket to protect
the speaker surface from scratching and reduce the possibility of the
speaker rotating in the bracket. The bracket can be attached to the desired surface using a number of different fasteners. Be sure to use fasteners that are appropriate for the surface you are mounting to and that can
support the speaker’s weight. Once the desired position is achieved, tighten
the screws securely.
• Stand Mounting
The APS 25 has two industry-standard 5/8" x 27 threaded inserts moulded into the cabinet - one on the bottom and one on the side. These allow
the speaker to be securely mounted to a stand (such as a microphone
stand). Be sure to tighten the speaker securely to the stand. Also, be sure
that the stand can support the weight of the speaker and that it will be
stable with that weight attached.
• Flat surface
Four self-adhesive anti-skid pads can be applied to the bottom or side
of the speaker to help stop it from moving when placed on a flat surface.

Using an APS VR module and VHF Transmitter(s)...
The APS VR receiver module comes pre-adjusted to one of 30 different VHF frequencies between 169MHz and 213MHz. The particular
frequency(s) you have were chosen to not interact/interfere with TV stations in your area. After installing the module (page 2) you will have to
attach the antenna and position it as close to vertical as possible. The
volume control on the module adjusts the input volume of that particular
module. Try to keep it set near its mid point for best performance.
Transmitters...
Model 31LT: Lavalier microphone with body-pack transmitter. Ideal for speaking
applications such as Lecturers, Actors, Actresses, etc.
(1) Open the battery compartment lid by sliding it down and raising it.
(2) Insert one fresh Alkaline 9-volt battery into the compartment. Make sure the
battery polarity is correct.
(3) Frequency Label
The Frequency label indicates what frequency (in MHz) the transmitter broad
casts on. The AZDEN receiver in use must also be on the same frequency.
(4) 31LT lavalier mic:
Clips onto a tie, lapel, etc. The transmitter’s cable doubles as an antenna.
Extend the cable as much as possible for the best performance.
(5) Audio Input Level Control
Turn clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease the input level.
A small screwdriver is supplied to make adjustments. The level control is
factory-preset in the center position.
